IMHO, the greatest opportunity for learning in our everyday life is
through listening to others and our self. Truly being open and able to
reflect on what I hear, both the cognitive and emotional, leads me to
learning.
Certainly, very powerful experiences can provided very powerful learning.
But I am only so strong and able to survive only so much powerful
experiences at a time.
A challenge for me, and for many others, is to be able to listen when in
conflict or when receiving undesired feedback. When I can listen, I
learn.
